ALBUQEURQUE, N.M. (AP) Several New Mexico residents have pledged to donate their own land if it will help lure electric car company Tesla to the state. KOAT-TV reported Wednesday some citizens are offering land in metro Albuquerque for a Tesla battery plant. Businessman John Edward says he is willing to give up to 400 acres of his own land to reward entrepreneurs such as Tesla.
